    Not a good day to be a coach at a P4 program

    Notre Dame taking second fiddle to a high school in the tweet and the graphic. Yes, I know it's Cincinnati, but come on.

    True. But you could make a case for him being more successful at Moeller than with the Irish.

    Faust facts: Left ND with a winning record. Coached ND to a no. 1 ranking after his first win. They never were ranked that high again. Coached John Boehner at Moeller.

    ND and USC have each had some odd hires over the years considering their pedigrees. Robinson was not an odd hire. But the Robinson 2.0 hire at USC definitely was.

    Lynn Swann for AD trumps any weird coaching hire ever at either school.

    Was Swann worse than Pat Haden? Mike Garrett? Garrett fired Robinson (who only won a national title for USC) by leaving a message on his answering machine to end Robinson's second stint with the Trojans.
    Even Mike Bohn was apparently on the outs at Cincinnati due to office behavior when USC hired him - you know, these schools hire these search firms for their "due diligence" and all that.

    Ex-USC AD Mike Bohn was reportedly under investigation for workplace misconduct before leaving Cincinnati

    No one will ever match the undefeated record of George O'Leary.
